Covering this wedding gave me an unusual feeling. The groom and his brother looked strikingly similar, and so did the bride and her bridesmaid. It was an extraordinary event that truly stood out, from the first sip of the morning to the last dance.
The morning started in matching robes, with a raised glass and plenty of laughter. Soon the shoes came out, the dress came down from its hanger and the bride had her moment by the window.
You can see the likeness for yourself. The groom and his brother stood side by side looking almost like twins, and then the family gathered for a quiet blessing before everyone set off.
The church was breathtaking, full of gold and colour, and the couple looked so calm in the middle of it. There were tender looks, family close by, careful signatures in the register and then that first walk back down the aisle.
Stepping outside they looked so relaxed, and just a few minutes later the reception was waiting with a glowing LOVE sign and a table of drinks.
The evening had everything. Funny hats, a cake on a table lit by big letters and a first dance swirling through low clouds. By the end, everyone was on the dance floor and nobody was holding back.
My approach to weddings is documentary and unobtrusive. I follow the day as it unfolds, from the quiet morning preparations to the ceremony, speeches and dancing, and step in with gentle direction only for couple portraits and group photos.
